Episode 058 - The Mattress

Back in the Field

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON SUNDAYS AT 8:30PM ET/PT -- This week, we open with a ten-minute discussion of what the future of BITF looks like given our recent run of delayed or skipped episodes, various other troubles, and personal changes in our lives. After that (and our jazzy intro) we get into the episode, talking briefly about the B and C plots (and mourning the sinking of Gina/Boyle) while appreciating a lot of things about this episode's structure. Around 34:15 we switch to the A-plot and our feelings about it. Aarthi starts out rather negative, but Carl presents a reasoned, alternate viewpoint that seems to better fit the narrative arc the show is going for. We're curious what our listeners think, both about our decisions regarding BITF's future as well as about our speculation about the latter half of the season. Plus: we reference the Godfather once or twice, so you know it's a great podcast.
